Wireless screen mirroring requires your devices to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Make sure that both devices are connected to the same network before attempting to connect.

2. Navigate to the screen sharing option and select it.
3. Turn on the screen mirroring option.
Step 4. Enable Screen Mirroring on Your Device
Next, you need to enable screen mirroring on your phone, tablet, or laptop. The process varies depending on the device you’re using, but generally, you need to:
1. Go to settings.
2. Navigate to the display option.
3. Select the cast or screen mirroring option.
Step 5. Connect Your Device to the Smart TV
Once you’ve enabled screen mirroring on both devices, you should be able to connect them wirelessly. Follow these steps:
1. On your device, search for nearby devices.
2. When your smart TV appears in the list of devices, select it.
3. Confirm that you want to connect to the TV.
Step 6. Start Screen Mirroring
Once your device is connected to the TV, you should be able to start screen mirroring. The way to activate this feature varies depending on the device, but you can usually press the “screen mirroring” or “cast” button on your device.
